As I thought on the emails exchanged with the various members of this family, I thought back to my prompting to move here in the first place.  At first, my instructions were that I needed to be in a new area to meet my future wife, but as time has gone on, it's become more specific: I need to be a member of my current ward to make the right connections to meet her (and while it's never been clear, I've had a feeling that she is not be a member of this ward).  I don't want to say that this young woman is the connection I needed to make, but it does all line up rather nicely.
